| 593761 | 2007-09-22 02:34:00 | I'm with Orcon, torrents can be a bit slow in the evenings, (10-50kbps) But after midnight,or in the mornings I can get up to 200kbps. No complaints there! ;) | wratterus (105) | ||
| 593762 | 2007-09-22 08:04:00 | I always thought you could get America's Army for free from their website.Yeah you can, but it's a bloody convoluted process, and you have to share their available bandwidth with several million other downloaders, or succumb to their nags to pay a US$10 fee for the game on disk and wait two weeks for it to arrive. For NZ users Xtra is the best bet, followed by GameArena (Bigpond, Aus). | Greg (193) | ||
| 593763 | 2007-09-22 08:44:00 | I was up late last night, seems Orcon isn't stoping torrents when everyones asleep, my torrent program just magically picked up. - Though was only 50kbs compared to 400kbs off GameArena I'm getting right now. I found that the other week when I downloaded the latest StarTrek New Voyagers Ep. Was reall slllooowww in the evening (up till 11.00pm) but over nite it pickup and completed.. |

| 593764 | 2007-09-22 10:36:00 | Have you read The Rules (pressf1.co.nz)? You are on very shaky ground, you have just posted here asking for advice on pirating a computer game. Why can't you just buy it on disk from a shop? You can order a free CD. |

| 593765 | 2007-09-22 12:14:00 | You can order a free CD.You can also be completely oblivious. The game doesn't fit onto a CD. Any disk is also charged at several dollars for post and packaging. :groan: |

| 593766 | 2007-09-24 01:08:00 | Do they? I'm with Orcon and torrent regularly. NO problems here Are you using port forwarding? Default ports? Maybe you've picked a lucky port number. Can you please PM me your port number?:) |

| 593767 | 2007-09-24 03:24:00 | If you look on Orcons website in their FAQs you get the following Do you restrict bandwidth or throttle peer to peer (P2P) traffic? (www.orcon.net.nz) On all plans, except for the ZeroShock data plan, we do not throttle or restrict the bandwidth available to any specific application or type of traffic. We have implemented a layer 7 quality of service (QOS) appliance which prioritizes latency sensitive traffic and traffic the most common types of traffic (HTTP - web surfing, VOIP, gaming, email) above other traffic, particularly peer to peer. This means that if the network is experiencing very high load then quality of service is maintained for the types of traffic that need it the most. Peer to peer program users may notice a small reduction in the speeds obtainable for that period of peak traffic. Note that this traffic management only applies to international traffic. We do not generally shape domestic traffic unless there is threat to network stability. So if you can Downloading from the Xtra site should be the fastest option, if it lets you of course |
